[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1508998, member: 968"] I have a large herd for NY, but a small herd in comparison to all over. LOL Most of you know, I have a registered Simmental herd. I am back to 100% AI, so I pick "a" bull for "a" cow, shooting for the best phenotype animal, mainly focusing on structure & easy keeping. (Yes, I show, but bottom line, they have to make a cow) All males are sold in fall. They are my "cash flow". Even though I breed everything "HOPING" for a heifer (maternal), I have a feedlot that buys all my males sight unseen at the highest current market price. He says he is willing to pay high dollar because they make him money each & every year - purebred Simmentals. Loves my health program also. So, you can have your cake & eat it too. Don't go extreme, unless all your calves are earmarked to be feedlot calves, and you buy your replacements. Having an option to AI your best for replacements, then turning in a terminal bull is the best of both worlds for many breeders. IMO. [/QUOTE]
